These are plants or animals that play a unique and crucial role in the way an ecosystem functions. Without these species, the ecosystem would be dramatically different or cease to exist. The term was developed by Robert Paine (1966) after observing that the diversity of organisms declined as the number of predators in those ecosystems decreased.
